There’s nothing better than Old Fashioned Iced Oatmeal Cookies! They have the perfect chewy texture with soft centers and expertly iced!

These homemade iced oatmeal cookies are easy to make and the flavor reminds me of Mother’s Iced Oatmeal Cookies!

Ingredients needed to make Iced Oatmeal Cookies:

• Cookies
  • Old Fashioned Oats
  • All-purpose flour
  • Baking Powder
  • Baking Soda
  • Salt
  • Ground Cinnamon
  • Ground Nutmeg
  • Unsalted Butter softened
  • Sugar
  • Brown sugar
  • Eggs
  • Vanilla
• Icing
  • Powdered sugar
  • Milk

How to make Iced Oatmeal Cookies:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Pour old-fashioned oats into the bowl of a food processor or high-powered blender and pulse until partially ground, about 15 seconds. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and ground oats until completely incorporated.
• In a separate medium bowl, (or bowl of a stand mixer) cream together butter, sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes). Add in eggs one at a time, mixing until combined after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
• Slowly add in dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix just until combined.
• Scoop the oatmeal cookie dough out onto prepared baking sheets (I used a silpat liner) in heaping tablespoonfuls. Bake cookies in preheated oven for 11 – 15 minutes until cookies are golden brown. Allow cookies to rest on baking sheet several minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
• For the icing, whisk together powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl and dip the very tops of the cookies (cooled) in icing and allow excess to run off or alternately spread icing over top of the cookie. Return to wire rack and allow icing to set. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
